Spiral structure of geologic time and constraints on the principle of actualism
Authors:
Abstract
A model of geologic time is proposed, represented as a system of helical lines, and in each of them the radius of the cylindrical surface and the step are determined by the period of cyclicity. It is shown that the spiral structure of geologic time imposes natural limitations on the area of application of the actualism principle.
